“I watched my life as if it were happening to someone else. My son died. And I was hurt, but I watched my hurt, and even relished it, a little, for now I could write a real death, a true loss. My heart was broken by my dark lady, and I wept, in my room, alone; but while I wept, somewhere inside I smiled.” IfsWritingHeartLittlesRealHurtDarkLossRoomsSonBrokenMy HeartHappeningsDiedMy SonI Was Hurt Author:Neil Gaiman

“Once upon a time there was a woman who was just like all women. And she married a man who was just like all men. And they had some children who were just like all children. And it rained all day. The woman had to skewer the hole in the kitchen sink, when it was blocked up. The man went to the pub every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The other nights he mended his broken bicycle, did the pool coupons, and longed for money and power. The woman read love stories and longed for things to be different. The children fought and yelled and played and had scabs on their knees. In the end they all died.” MenChildrenDifferentEndsStoriesNightBrokenMarriedDiedHolesLove StoryKneesKitchenSundayPoolSaturdayFridayBicycleOnce Upon A TimePubsBlockedMoney And PowerKitchen SinksScabsSaturday And Sunday Author:Elizabeth Smart
“Lee saw the fireball and head through the roar in his ears Hester saying, "That's the last of 'em Lee." He said, or thought, "Those poor men didn't have to come to this, nor did we."

Then she was pressing her little proud broken self against his face, as close as she could get, and then they died.” MenLittlesSaidSelfHelpingLastsFacesPoorSawsBrokenProudEarsDiedEmsPoor Man Author:Philip Pullman
“Naturally I feel no shame in writing these things because of the time which separates the moment when they are written--when only I can see them--from the moment when they will be read by other people, a moment which I feel will never come. By then I could have had an accident or died; a war or a revolution could have broken out. This delay makes it possible for me to write today, in the same way I used to lie in the scorching sun for a whole day at sixteen, or make love wihout contraceptives at twenty: without thinking about the consequences” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsWritingI CanWarWholeMomentsTodayUsedLyingSunWrittenBrokenRevolutionConsequenceDiedTwentiesShameAccidentsMaking LoveDelaySixteenContraceptivesScorching Book:Simple Passion Source: Simple Passion

“What actually happens when you die is that your brain stops working and your body rots, like Rabbit did when he died and we buried him in the earth at the bottom of the garden. And all his molecules were broken down into other molecules and they went into the earth and were eaten by worms and went into the plants and if we go and dig in the same place in 10 years there will be nothing exept his skeleton left. And in 1,000 years even his skeleton will be gone. But that is all right because he is a part of the flowers and the apple tree and the hawthorn bush now.” IfsYearsBodyHappensEarthDiesLeftBrainGoneTreeFlowerBrokenGardenDiedPlantBottomYour BodyApplesBuriedWormsRabbitsMoleculesSkeletonsBroken DownApple Trees Author:Mark Haddon
